Treatment of Bruises.-From times unknown
bruises have been treated by cold water. Mothers
in our early life used always to apply it to any
buise or confusion, especially to bruises on the
forehead. Notwithstanding this ilustrious ex-
Let us see how the two operate: Cold applied to
the surface has tendency to check the flow of
blood. Heat, under the same circumstances, aug
ments it. Thus applying cold water to bruise
or confusion stops, more or less, the flow of blood
in its course through the injured part. The spot
is "black and blue" Applying hot water compels
the moving fluid to hasten on its course and be
far away from the scene of turmoil. So the blood
hastens on its way and leaves very few marks of
its presence. Ordinarily, bruises and Commissions
rupture some capillary blood tubes and allow the
blood to ooze out. The thing to be done is to
compel the blood to flow on its wonted way. The
application of very warm water is the best treat
ment for Commissions and bruises.

Wolf-in-the- Tail and HolLo,o Horn.-The Rural
New Yorker says: There such diseases
"wolf- the tai and "holow- horn" or "horn-air
known to the veterinary profession. Both are
terms conveniently employed by ignorant quacks
and "cow doctors" to designate of disease in
cattle that they do not understand. To hide their
ignorance and quackery and to impress their un-
suspecting patrons with their knowledge and i'm
portance, they designate the disease by some such
nonsensical name as the above rather than tell
the truth and say they do not know the disease.
Since there are such diseases no treatment can
be recommended. To say that COW has the hol-
low-horn (and all healthy horns are normally
hollow simply implies that she is sick but gives
no intimation as to the nature of the disease.
She may have any one of large number of dis
eases common to cattle. With the wolf in tail

treatment for wolf in the tail advised getting the

a barbarous practice to bore the horns of cattle

Grafton is not very painful and can scarcely be
said to be barbarous, but it is certainly equally
unnecessary and inficts needless pain upon the

Two Clubs Out of One.-The Belt Demo-
cratic Club of the 9th district, held a meeting at
the new club house on First street, Wednesday
night, and temporarily organized with Mr.. E. R..
Legg as president. Mr. John NJ. Gallagher,
chairman of the executive committee, stated that
the reason the club had not been admitted to
Mankin Hall at a meeting two weeks ago was that
the president and vice president got possession
of the hall. j. II. Wight had the key to the hall
door, and refused to let them in. He said that he
had rented the hall, and did not propose to let
them in, and if they tried to get in he would have
them arrested Mr.. Gallagher said: GAS this is
the original club, the club from which the others
seeded, and as our president and vice president
went over to the other side, move that we elect
permanent president, vice president and secre-
tary." Officers were then chosen as follows /:
President, Edgar X. Legg; vice president, John
Is. Ross; secretary, Lewis Gardiner, with an ex-
ecutive committee oftwelve. Mr.. John M. Littig

A Wife Attempts Suicide Caused by
Domestic Trouble.-Mrs. Such, wife of Elisha
Such, who was until within few days ago man
ager of the Ashland Company's farm at Pot
Spring, 8th district, attempted to commit suicide
on Wednesday by hanging herself. Two of her
neighbors, who suspected that she might do her
self some bodily harm, discovered her in time to
save her life. It is alleged that for some time
past Such has been neglecting his wife and paying
attention to another woman, who he brought 20
his home and desired to establish there. Mrs.
Such very naturally rebeled against this state of
affairs and Tuesday, after getting possession of
a sum of money belonging to his wife, he took a
horse and buggy and went off, presumably with
the other woman. The deserted wife was wrought
up to high state of excitement at the treatment
she had received at the hands of her husband and
she tried to take her life in order to rid herself of
her troubles. Such is young man and has sew
